Five Months! / Cinco Meses!

Happy Halloween, Everyone! Here are our five month pictures.. Hopefully we'll have a new blog up shortly with pictures from our first time eating rice cereal, so check back soon. Also, we'll be making the blog private in the next couple of days, which means that you'll have to be on our list in order to be able to view the blog. We just want to protect our little ones from any potential wackos out there who might be looking at our blog for the wrong reasons, (Allison, I'm looking in your direction!). We really don't want to lose anyone who follows the blog, so be sure and leave a comment with your email address so that we can add you to the list.

What Are They Doing Now?/ Que Estan Haciendo Ahora?

I decided to add this section to keep everyone updated on the new little things that Mila and Lucca are doing. I will try to update it more frequently than the blog, so check back often to keep up with the twins! Hope you like it! :)

March 17- When he gets angry, Lucca has started clenching his fists, scrunching up his face, and making a loud grunting sound as his face turns bright red. This usually happens during mealtimes when he's not getting fed fast enough. (He does like his food!) Let me tell you, this new trick is charming. :P On a quieter note, the babies tried fresh blueberries today and LOVED them! They couldn't get enough of them and kept leaning forward for me to give them more. I'm glad we found a healthy, easy snack that they like!

March 4- We finally tried green beans tonight and they seemed to be a hit! I was very surprised, to say the least. We got a few funny faces, as we do whenever trying new foods, but both babies ate all of their green beans. Bring on the green poop!

Feb.17- We think that Mila has started doing the sign for "more." She just sticks her arms straight out in front of her and puts her hands together, so it's a little different from the actual sign, which is why we're not positive that's what she's doing. But she only does this little motion at mealtimes, and only when she wants more food, so it looks like something has started to click with her! What a smart little cookie!

Feb. 14- Mila and Lucca have started giving open-mouthed, very slobbery kisses to Mommy and sometimes to Daddy, (if he's shaven). Lucca especially likes to do this! First, he grabs your face very tightly, (so that you can't get away, I guess), then he slowly moves towards you with his head tilted back and his mouth wide open. Sometimes he even sticks his tongue out if he's feeling especially affectionate. Then, he just holds his mouth against your cheek for a few seconds, giggling the whole time. The other day he held Mommy's face so tight that he made her nose bleed! Now that's love!
